THE SALMI ROCK.
Place in Ceylon Where an Evil Heather
Deity Is Propitiated.

A Place in Ceylon Where an Evil Heather
Deity Is Propitlated.
Landing one afternoon for visit to
the Salmi Rock, we came to the remain
ing fort of the place-Fort Frederick
a massive structure built by the Dutch
in 1875 to resist land attacks from the
interior, but now occupied by an armed
garrison of English heavy artillery,
writes correspondent from Ceylon.
Passing through the fort and out to
the extreme point, we came to large,
rugged rock rising precipitously out o.
the sea to a height of nearly two hun.
dred feet, 1t is known as Salmi Rock.
and the natives have a tradition that il
is occupied by one of their evil deities,
to propitiate whom their Hindoo priest
holds a sacred service on the rock
twice a week. The Europeans here
know of only one event that has oc-
CURED to make the rock memorable
since the first Dutch settlers arrived
here. The daughter of one of the old
Dutch Governors fell in love with a
young Lieutenant stationed on a
Dutch man-of-war in the harbor. Her
irascible old father opposed their union
because the young Lieutenant had
nothing but his pay, and, in order to
separate them, ordered the man-of-war
to sea on long cruise. As the ship
sailed out of the harbor the young girl
went out to the rock, waved a last fare
well to her lover, and then threw her.
self off into the sea and was drowned.
Fortunately, we got to the rock Just
as the service was about to begin. On
a narrow ledge right over the sea stood
the priest, a fine-looking gray-headed
old fellow, who was attired in the
narrowest loin cloth I have vet seen.
Near to him, but clear of the rock, were
about fifty or sixty nativcs-the men at
tired very much like the priest, but the
women resplendent in skirts of many
colors and fairly loaded down with
gold and silver ornaments in nose and
ears and on arms, ankles and toes.
The priest was fairly surrounded with
load of fruits, flowers, rice and cocoa
nuts-the offerings of his congregation.
He commenced the service by ringing a
bell. Then, holding brass vessel, in
which was blazing fire, in his hand
before him, and apparently invoking
some spirit in it, he first threw some
slips of paper over the face of the rock,
his congregation facing the sea, clasp
ing the hands in front of the body and
engaging in prayer. After this was
over the priest opened all of the cocoa
nuts, emptying the milk into a brass
vessel.
Afterward he made final prayer in
regard to keeping the sea quiet so that
vessels could swim on it, and then COM
menced to throw part of the offerings
into the sea; first some flowers, then
some rice and finally some cocoanuts.
How they could reach the evil deity
could not learn. During the praying
of the priest these poor natives looked
every bit as earnest and devout as any
of our congregations at home would
look during Divine service.
